But removing the card might have jiggled a cable, which is either in an iffy state (sometimes acting connected, sometimes not,) or which got knocked back into place when you gave your computer a good swift kick for not booting. Just hope it's something like that and not "hard drive actually in process of dying."Talysman the Ur-Beatlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-88539770836816123132012-06-26T15:45:47.673-04:002012-06-26T15:45:47.673-04:00Sometimes cables can loosen or tighten due to heat...Sometimes cables can loosen or tighten due to heating and cooling.

Kel-tec gives him a lot of work, and so he sees way more of their kit before and after any bugs get ironed out than I do, but what I *have* seen of KT has trended each time more to the bad side. That said, that rfb remains the high point of fail, and I won't shoot one again after that disintegration without someone else going first and getting a good look at the brass.

I can tell it's going to eat several hours of my life....<br /><br />Boot order checked (see reply above) and all cables re-seated during initial diagnostic. Either I did that before I booted, and just forgot I had done it (possible; was not operating at full caffeination), or the damn thing mysteriously fixed itself during its downtime. <br /><br />At this point I'm honestly not sure which is more likely.Erin Palettehttp://lurkingrhythmically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-49114442938076504102012-06-26T14:06:10.074-04:002012-06-26T14:06:10.074-04:00Boot order is fine, and has remained unchanged sin...Boot order is fine, and has remained unchanged since I first set this computer up about 5 years ago. (Yes, its age is one reason I am eying it warily.)<br /><br />About the only other thing I can think of is that within the past few weeks the PCI-E graphics card died (fan failed, card overheated, cooked some of the processors) and when I was checking CMOS I realized that the graphics were set to default to the now-removed GeForce card. I changed that while I was there. <br /><br />But that shouldn't have made any difference in booting up.

At the gathering I was at where one was present, the universal interpretation was that RFB stood for Real Fuckin' Bitch. I don't want to call it an unmitigated ball of suck and fail, because that would be unfair to balls of suck and fail to have it lumped in with them. Magazines wouldn't seat without a hammer, the trigger was like dragging a boat anchor down a gravel road, the spring system was like having a torpedo tube launch right next to your head with someone slamming a screen door for a chaser, the gas system could not be adjusted to stop it from leaving *severe* primer wipe on every round (one person with more firearm experience than has any right to occupy one body fired it, examined the brass, and would not go near it again the entire event), and the brass discharge chute requires you point it at your feet to get spent cases to stop rattling around before you've fired enough more to clear whatever is in there by displacement. <br /><br />Then it launched its gas regulator downrange, never to be seen again. Trigger went "gronchclunckclick", muzzle went "bang," springs went "KERWHANGSPROINGWOOSHCLANG," and then there was an extra "PFEWWWWW". Hang on a tick, what was that last one again?<br /><br />Group evaluation of the rifle ranged from http://mylittlefacewhen.com/f/5337/ to http://mylittlefacewhen.com/f/5129/<br /><br />Also +1 to re-seat hard drive cables and check boot order.Stingraynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-31357480950567208292012-06-25T19:49:11.185-04:002012-06-25T19:49:11.185-04:00The most common cause of "BOOT SECTOR NOT FOU...The most common cause of "BOOT SECTOR NOT FOUND" is, I think, leaving a removable disc in a drive.

Re: "BOOT SECTOR NOT FOUND, INSERT BOOT DISK TO CONTINUE"<br /><br />I've seen that one quite a bit when I was a computer tech; most of the time it meant that a cable to the HDD had loosened slightly, or that the contacts were slightly tarnished. You'd be surprised how many times just unplugging and replugging the cable (which polished the contacts) several times cured the problem.Robert Garrardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-54062922540704802862012-06-25T16:34:20.226-04:002012-06-25T16:34:20.226-04:00Looks like I got out of there just in time...it wa...Looks like I got out of there just in time...it was just starting to rain in Jacksonville when I headed out.Larry Cardnoreply@blogger.com
